Key Insight #1: Demographics
More Black Americans are identifying as Multiracial and Black immigration is growing in the U.S., making the segment more diverse and dynamic than brands may realize.
Implication:
Lean into rich intersectional storytelling during marketing campaigns. Authentic, and specific stories will still appeal cross-segment.
Key Insight #2: Identity
Products and services that explicitly show people with natural skin and hair and challenge racial and ethnic stereotypes will win with Black consumers.
Implication:
Innovate and expand products and services that are tailored to meet the needs of Black consumers. Prioritize realistic representation in your advertising and push to avoid photoshopped perfection.
Key Insight #3: Group Trait of Determination
Black Americans are determined and believe in working persistently towards their goals. Despite setbacks, there is a deep-seeded belief in themselves.
Implication:
Drive fit by communicating how your brand helps Black Americans achieve at the highest levels.
